Cafe culture
For a taste of Paris, take a seat at Cafe Des Arts 11B Ngo Bao Khanh, Hoan-Kiem, 3828 7207, www.cafedesarts.com. Tamarind Cafe is a vegetarian place that does great juices, smoothies and vegie specialties (80 May Ma Street, 3926 0580). Cafe Lam has served strong grinds for decades (60 Nguyen Huu Huan).
Snack attack
The best pho (pronounced "fur" or "fahr") is that made by street vendors, followed up with a tiny shot of strong, sweet coffee. Not so daring? Head for Pho 24, a restaurant chain that does two-dozen styles of steaming pho (191 Giang Vo Street, Dong Da).
Sweet tooths should stop at Fanny's Ice-cream, a Parisian-style parlour serving ice-cream and sorbets (48 Le Thai To, 4828 5689). La Place is the place for good coffee and crepes, just near St Joseph's Cathedral (4 Au Trieu). Bo Ho Intimex Supermarket has international and imported foods ( 23 Le Thai To Street, Hoan Kiem, 3828 9765).
